Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a very precise technique that abrases skin flaws such as light wrinkles, scarring from acne, pigmentation and sun damage. It helps eliminate blocked pores and blackheads and leaves the skin feeling and looking fresh and soft.

Microdermabrasion smoothes and refines the skin. It uses a vacuum sealed system and very fine sterile crystals to "sandblast" or abrade the skin as the handpiece rotates over the area to be treated. The machine continually discards and replaces the crystals, while the suction motion exfoliates the skin.

Apart from the face, other regions are effectively treated by microdermabrasion; the neck and the décolletage. Full face treatment takes about 30 minutes with 15 minutes actual working time with the machine. The first treatment refreshes the skin, taking a certain amount of dead layers off the skin, leaving you looking refreshed. After 2 to 3 sessions the changes in the skin are quite noticeable. The amount of microdermabrasion treatments required will be determined by the condition of your skin. Patients can wear make-up straight after the treatment, but better to keep the skin clear. Some conditions are not suitable for microdermabrasion. Deep scarring cannot be resolved by microdermabrasion. It is recommended for People with age pigmentation spots, acne scars and fine lines or for people who want to keep their skin looking fresh and young.
